Magick in Theory and Practice - Aleister Crowley

Whatever you may think about Crowley and his ideas this book is worth reading without any regard to that. This is a fascinating non-scientists perspective on the emerging ideals on the nature of the mystical in the last century. It easily mirrors what was happening in the field of parapsychology at the time, but in a different manner, from the standpoint of 'belief first, only then analysis.' Although much of Crowley's other works did get heavily into the weird, this book should be placed into the same category as Einstein's 'Relativity' and 'Brief History of Time' (okay, not quite at the top of that category, but definitely in it =)
